NEW YORK, Sept. 22.-Tournures are
growing neither larger nor smaller and
frock coats are again in favor with Lon
don gentlemen. These two important
items underlle all the news Of the week
from the kingdom Of clothes.
Will it interest the man who settles the
bills to know that r. season Of greater eX-
travagance in dress than ever is threat
ened? Alas, / grieve not for that man.
He has money, and when man has
money the easiest thing in the world is to
hand IL out. / drop tear for the thou
sands Of women who like pretty things
and cannot have them who see Them
selves left far in the rear and feel corre-
spondingly depressed. Jenny June gives
$500 year as the lowest estimate on
which n woman can dress well in New
York, and I don't dispute the assertion.
Indeed she does well who can do it.
Evening wraps are very taking"
They look like sleeveless jackets, and
are made of plush or velvet with much
jet trimming. They are elegant things,
intended for stately occasions-such as
receptions, where bonnets and high necked
toilets are proper.
Long waists for dresses are Mt hand.
That is news to rejoice over. Nothing
makes a woman look more graceful Re-
member Maggie Mitchell rs Farchon,
with her yard long waist. And notice
how much prettier children look in the
long, Topped, loose waist than in any of the
short, pudgy ones. A woman whose
gown is short wasted needs much natural
grace to keep her from looking awkward.
Skirts are rlliltlcsS of fiOunceS RIFLES
and elaborate draperies. Another cause
of gratitude Tea gowns nre more nu-
merous than ever and more beautiful.
Surahs and China silks are the popular
materials The house wear of ladies is
growing in the direction of beauty and
good sense. Soft draperies are more lovely
than the prim, tight waists seen outside
of home everywhere. With these come
low heels on the finest and dressiest house
shoes. The French heel has almost uni
versally dropped to lower social range

PERSONAL AND PECULIAR.

no, you are moi, calmly answered Tenny-
son, Il know Robert Browning intimately,
and you cannot persuade me that you are he"
The common use lately of Mrs. Cleveland's
picture as an advertising card is likely to
lead to several law suits against the firms
putting them out The originals of the pic
lures common in the market were copyright
ed by two Washington photographers shortly
after Mrs. Clevelands marriage. At first
the only advantage reaped was from the To-
cal sale of the cards. Gradually, however,
an outside demand sprang up. and before
this could be met, orders commenced to Pam.

photographers have no remedy for the for

fringement in this country. The. tobacco

dealers, who have been making Mrs. Cleve-
lands features common in hideOus litho-
graphs and chromos, are to be called to a
legal account, and the prosecutions will have
the moral sanction Of the White House
where the practice has caused much 'offense.
There is no desire on the part of Mrs. Cleve-
land to give the Washington dealers a mo-
nopoly of her features and she is not averse
to copies being made for private sale, use OF

to give outside artists a special sitting, but
she will not give her consent to the use OF
her picture for an advertisement.

Admiral Luce,s Questions.

From the beginning of the fisheries dis
pute our fishermen have commended that they
are entitled to such commercial privileges in
Canadian perts as the purchase of supplies
and the shipment of fish in bond On an as
sumption Of the value of this claim, Con-
gress passed the act giving the President
power to issue retaliatory proclamation de-
nying 20 Canadians the commercial privi-
leges that they deny us. Now Admiral Luce
comes along and, with Capt. Scott as his au-
thority, instructs the fishermen that they
have no right to do those things which the
United States Congress has assumed that
they do have right to do The synopsis of
these instructions, which the PRESS pub
lished Tuesday morning, shows that Admi-
raj Luce is a convert to the Canadian posi-

such, they give in compact form. informa-

for our fishermen to have. But unfortunate
ly Admiral Luce seems, from all published
accounts of his actions, to have assumed
that the Canadians are right in their posi-
ton; and that our fishermen have no right
to do those things which the Canadians are
trying to make it uncomfortable for them to
do. The significance Of such an assumption
is very forcibly explained in another column

No wonder people flock to Old Orchard
Bar Harbor and wherever else on the coast
OF Maine they can find abiding places. The
month of July was so intolerably hot In the
Middle States that people in those ATTITUDES
are not through talking about it yet. The
New York Commercial Bulletin saws that
this month of July was, in New York. the
hottest Of any similar period within this last
half of the nineteenth century. The mer-
curry has not risen for days in succession
quite as high in the thermometer as it did in
July, 1876, when for more thana week it
touched 96 degrees in the shade, but the aver
age temperature has been higher, and the
neat. owing to excessive humidity in the
atmosphere, has been less tolerable BY the
Signal Service record the average maximum
OF heat was 500, while for July, 1876, it was
S6s; but the minimum average was 70S
against 69s in 1876, showing a more intense
average heat throughout the days of the
month. In the villages and on the coast of
Maine, on the other hand, the month of July
was one of comparatively grateful GOODNESS.
In the Portland Signal Office the mercury
did on one day reach 95 degrees, but the
ASA tSihPOA@euhO VI tuO HlOubu WAS only Il
fraction over 20 degrees, about the same as
the average Of the lowest temperatures of
the different days Of the month in New York
That is, the coolest July weather In New
York was about the same as the average
July weather OF Maine. Yet this was a
warmer July than we usually experience,
reckoned by the mean temperature. For ff-
teen years there have been but four other
Julys when the mean temperature in Port
land has reached 10 degrees. The scale of
the thermometer is not always an accurate
measure Of the amount of discomfort occa-
stoned by the weather; but, taken right
through month, the story that the Their
mometer tells is the true story-that Maine
Is very good refuge from the summers
heat. The welcome contrast our weather
afforded during July sent an unusual num-
Der Of visitors to our shores and lakes.
Nearly all the hotels are doing great bust
ness, with prospects Of still more guests in
August. After the terrible July Of 1876 in
New York the succeeding August was
equally uncomfortable. If the precedent is
followed this year the number of August
visitors to Maine will probably be greatly in
excess of what has been expected

For the second time within two years Ar
row Greek has been the scene Of cloud
burst pr water spout. From Oliver Pichettr.
2ho returned from Benton last week, we
obtained the following particulars Of the
food, which occurred on the night Of the
18th inst:
About IL o'clock Mr.. Iamotte, who
lives at the loot Of Arrow Creek ill-in the
creek vallcy--was awakened by the sound
of rushing water. In jumping out Of bed
he stepped into two feet Of water which
had found its way through the door and
walls. lie went outside and climbed on top
Of the house, but none too soon. as the
food was rapidly rising and soon fillcd his
house, carrying away all OF his furniture.
He remained on the roof all night, and
when the water subsidized. which was but "a
few hours from the commencement of the
flood. he found over two feet of mud on his
floor. He lost all Of his chickens and tur-
keys, numbering nearly 800. Logs Of cot
tonwood, two feet in diameter. hoated
across the valley, Is feet above
the bed ~ the creek. The water, as shown
by marks ON trees. was Is feet over tho
banks. making a raise of 30 feet in a few
moments.
VIM. Morten, ranchman living n short
distance below Laihotte, was also aroused
and experienced an adventure far from
pleasant. In getting out Of bed the naked
limbs sank into nearly two and one-half
feet of water. lie then rushed for the door
and, upon opening, was thrown by the
rushing water clear across his room into
the fireplace. from where he had to climb
up the chimney to save his life. From the
roof he made two or three attempts to
reach high ground, but finally had to ne
main on the roof all night in an almost
nude condition. Morton lost all of his
household effects. $50 in currency, one
wagon, and one horse drowned. In de
scrbing the fall of water he said: 1T was
an immense lake coming down in Il body,
and declares he saw thousands of fishes il
the delnge. The total damage To fencing
/ fluming, stock, ETC., will probably be great
when ascertained.
